Getting rid of buildup in your hair no matter what your hair type is essential for keeping clean fresh looks for your hairstyles. Clarifying shampoos and rinses that clean and remove buildup from styling products, smog, smoke or dust or gels and moisterizers.


Why shampoos can be bad for your hair

Some shampoos have chemicals that can be drying to your hair stripping it of its natural elements, especially color treated hair. If you are not careful in picking an affordable all natural shampoo. You will find that some of the best products are ones you will find in your own kitchen cabinets, such as baking soda, apple cider vinegar, green tea, lemon, a natural homemade beauty remedy for clarifying cleansing your scalp and hair, can help to condition hair with lavender vinegar by adding a essential oil to the herbal vinegar hair rinse you can use lavender buds with the apple cider vinegar mixture.


Homemade natural conditioner


It will allow the acidity from the vinegar to remove silicones, excess oils and glycerin found in soap shampoo bars from your hair. When you add fresh herbs such as calendula petals, chamomile, lavender buds, rosemary, parsley and rose hips to the vinegar you will have a nice fragrance as well as a method for promoting hair growth.


Clarifying no shampoo routine
